As many of you know who have been following me for a while - I have never
been a big fan of pay-per-click advertising. However, that changed when I
discovered the
Ignite Program from Seller Labs.
Since signing up with ignite, my advertising-connected sales have
skyrocketed. Ignite is easy to use and learn and their support is
excellent.

The other program I am having huge success with is
Kibly.
Kibly
is a program that helps build your feedback quickly and increase product
reviews. Since signing up with them my feedback is growing much faster and
I have increased my product reviews substantially.

This will be the final issue of the eBay & Amazon Sellers News -
but I am not getting out of the business. Instead - I will
be blogging regularly - and frequently
at my blog.
I will also post to Facebook occasionally from my
Facebook business page

As I said in my last newsletter, I am not quitting online sales altogether.
I am only dropping eBay coverage, but will continue to write about Amazon
and other online marketing opportunities. (I am also giving some thought
about expanding to Etsy -but, will let you know about that if I decide to
do that).

It has been a great 19 years and I have enjoyed writing and giving advice
about eBay and Amazon. I also hope to start a Free Facebook Group soon for
Amazon sellers, or participate in an existing Amazon group as a regular
contributor.

I announced a final sale on my eBay books in my last issue, but will
continue to write and update my Amazon books. I am also going to keep
selling
eBay to Amazon
for those of you who want to make the transition.

Here are the details again for the final eBay book sale. I have three main
eBay training products:

All three of these books are excellent values at full price, but I am
putting them on Final sale for 40% off. Just use coupon code
EBAY40
upon checkout to get this discount. (Note: If you
add more than on book to the shopping cart, the coupon sometimes only
discounts the last book purchased. If that happens, please
email us and we will process the
appropriate refund immediately).

The sale lasts through October 31st.

The first book,
The Complete eBay Marketing System
includes annual electronic updates and I will commit to continue publishing
these through 2020. The other two books were recently updated.

I will no longer be writing books and articles about eBay -although if the
subject warrants it, I will mention eBay where appropriate (Such as in
wholesale sourcing). The eBay-related articles and resources will be taken off
the site soon.

I mentioned this in my last newsletter that my wife's and my decision
decision was personal and had to do with other priorities.

While it's true that eBay is more difficult and complicated today than in
the earlier days -there are still plenty of sellers making good money doing
it. And, if you are one of these, I recommend you keep going.

As I mentioned above, I am also giving some thought to adding Etsy into the
mix, on the theory that you should not have all your eggs in one basket
-and always have a fallback provision.

I will still be writing (and updating) my books about Amazon. I will
continue writing articles and they will appear in two places:

Please note - I also have a personal Facebook page where I have over 4000
friends. Since I plan to reduce my friend count and make that page a truly
personal/family page - I strongly recommend all of my friends who follow me
for business reasons make the transition to
my Facebook Business page.
Just visit that page, click on the like and you'll see my future Facebook posts.

I will soon write a post on that page explaining that. If you are a
neighbor, personal friend or family member, there is nothing you have to
do. But, if you are someone who friended me for business or promotional
reasons then you should go to
my Facebook Business page
and hit a Like button so we stay connected.

If you look at the navigation page at the top of this site, you will see
one that says "Wholesale Items." That will soon change to "Wholesale
Sourcing." This is where I will post my wholesale sources (by category) as
well as writing articles giving tips about wholesale sourcing. (We are
working on this now and it should show up within a week or so)

Affiliate Income

I will also be using my blog and Facebook page to promote affiliate deals
that interest me, and I believe will benefit you, my readers. But,
regarding affiliate deals, let me give you two promises:

I will only promote programs where I know and trust the advertiser (program developer)

I will only promote programs that offer a money-back guarantee if you are not happy with the program.

(If you ever have a problem getting a refund from a program I recommend
-please contact me immediately!)

My policy on affiliate deals has always been - if I would not recommend it
to my brother, sister or parents -then I will not recommend it to you.

So there you go. Please subscribe to my blog posts. To be notified of new
